Facebook Twitter GoogleFrank was a wonderful man, and he will be deeply missed. He had such a kind heart, a joyful spirit, and a passion for helping the team. We only had the privilege of having Frank on the third shift team for a short time, but he had a huge impact on all of us. His warmth, drive, laughter, and eagerness to learn, will be forever missed. He was a great friend and teammate to all of us and we will remember all the great times we shared. I am so sorry for your loss.

Facebook Twitter GoogleI’m very sorry to hear about your loss! Frank was a good guy! I had the pleasure of working with him for about 6 months before I went on to do something else. He was my supervisor at Wabash in axle/bogie on third shift. He was definitely a grab life by the horns kind of guy. I praying that God give you all all the comfort you need during this time. God bless and R.I.P. Frank
